Dear colleagues
We thought you might be interested in the following item of news from
Oxford Journals:
************************************************************************
**************************
Oxford Journals has announced that the journal Brief Treatment and
Crisis Intervention, which has been discontinued, is now accessible
through two preservation services: CLOCKSS and Portico.
Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention ceased publication at the end of
2008. Archival content from volume 1, issue 1 (2001) to volume 8, issue
4 (2008) will be removed from the Oxford Journals online platform on
Monday 1st June. Oxford Journals' preservation partners - CLOCKSS and
Portico - are now providing access to this title and will take
responsibility for its ongoing long-term preservation.
For libraries participating in one or both of these services, access to
Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention is available via the CLOCKSS and
Portico websites. Access will remain available on the Oxford Journals
online platform until Monday 1st June 2009 in order to allow for a
smooth transition period. Redirects will be set up from the Oxford
Journals platform to these archives to further ease the transition for
libraries and their users.
Oxford Journals joined Portico and CLOCKSS in 2006. Through these
services, Oxford Journals and other publishers are working hand-in-hand
with the library community to ensure their publications are digitally
preserved and remain accessible over time.
Fiona Kearney, Director for UK Business Development and Rights at Oxford
University Press, commented: 'We are proud to participate in these
preservation initiatives so that readers of this journal can continue to
access archival content even after it has ceased publication and to
ensure the continuity of the electronic scholarly record.'
'The importance of reliable, long-term digital preservation is more
evident each day,' noted Eileen Fenton, Executive Director of Portico.
'Titles cease publication, and yet libraries need continued access with
minimal disruption and effort. Portico exists to meet precisely this
need, and we are glad to provide easy, user-friendly, campus-wide access
to Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention for the nearly 500 libraries
participating in Portico'.
Gordon Tibbitts, Co-Chair of the CLOCKSS board was pleased that 'the
CLOCKSS organization has triggered for the world to access the content
of Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention. The CLOCKSS community, which
includes leading library and publishing organizations, was formed
specifically to fulfil the need for ubiquitous and inexpensive long-term
scholarly content archiving. We are tremendously pleased that our
solution has worked so well.'
